- Space Shuttle Discovery, atop its Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, NASA 905, is shown from various vantage points around the National Capital region on April 17 on the final leg of its ferry flight from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to Dulles International Airport in Virginia.
The shuttle was one of the first steps of a great dream of humanity.
Thanks Discovery and thanks to his twins, some of which have been lost with his heroic crews.
Just spent nine minutes of my life watching a plane fly another plane from a third plane, and I don't regret a single second of it.
It is sad to see the end of the shuttle program, but, appart from Hubble the shuttles have been the ISS "repair man/ Tucker Truck van" and satellite service vehichle. Granted the crews have all been heros, not like football "heros", these people put thier lives on the line for humanity's progress. They were all incredibly brave people and we all owe them. As far as space exploration the quiet achievers are Voyagers 1 & 2 & the other unmanned craft that have proved thier worth.Thumbs up 4 NASA !
Nice to see, especially when you are familiar with the region.
watching this brings a tear to my eye. shame it will never be used again :(
What a great Video. Never seen Washington before. I shall look later. Got to eat, catch Le Tour de France, then the Scottish Open Golf. Crikey, it's all go. Don't know what this HD is about. You are all being conned. My TV is "perfect". There aren't enough hours in the day, and I have followed all this from the start with Freedom 7. Thank you for the entertainment.
Well said cptorangutang2. Spoken articulately and intelligently, unlike the original poster.
We love you NASA!
that was a cool video..it makes you wonder how the shuttle affects the plane..it looks like it might give more lift..but maybe make the rudder less effective as well?? :)
Though the shuttle is not actually a plane. It does have wings, but only for the purpose of re-entry, in which it glides to the ground. It has little to no engine power after it launches and would be incapable of flying on its own. But it is very interesting to watch!
I dearly miss the shuttle. It sent the Hubble telescope and created the iss. It bettered our understanding of aerospace. It sent and repair satellites. But there is always an end to things and there is always a new beginning. I can't for SLS and future missions beyond our atmosphere.
7:50 right over the National Mall - (Between the Capitol steps and the Washington Monument, the Mall spans 1.2 miles (1.8 km))
747 Pilot: It's like we're flying with a dead elephant on our back.
Co-pilot: We are!
R.I.P. shuttle Discovery. August 30, 1984 - April 17, 2012.
Just my opinion, the only thing that would make the final home for the Shuttles would be for them to release from the 904 and make one last finlal landing as a glider.....which is what is is, afterall.
I doubt it could. The shuttle is attached from the same hard points that it used to attach to the external tank on trips to orbit.
Awesome! :D
Yeah!!!!!
reminds me of insects mating, like two dragonflies riding together in the air.
I was at the departure this morning, it was something else. But a freakin' gopro? You're shooting a spaceshuttle with a gopro? GoPro's are for kids with skateboards, not NASA.
I'm wondering how much fuel the jet carries and how long can it's flight last transporting the shuttle, it's not like baggage.
8:30 SOCCER STADIUM!!!!
Cool.
One question. Doesn't the TCAS system in the 747 go absolutely insane with a another plane this close?
It’s not a normal 747.
I can see my house from here :D
1:23 What if the shuttle fell off?
1,747'th upload

Anyone in 2019 ????
Goodbye space
